Hun Sen Boulevard

Lakes, swamps and lagoons around Phnom Penh are all being affected by city growth. None is as big as Boeng Tumpoan (south of Phnom Penh) and now a network of roads will criss-cross the lake, the most notable being the new Hun Sen Blvd. Which will go from Kbal Thnal (Monivong bridge area) south across the lake to connect with highway 2 south-west of Ta Khmao. There will also be a new road from just north of Choeng Ek Killing Fields to just north of Ta Khmao. Lastly a small road will connect from St. 371 near Dombok Khpuos Pagoda and will head east to connect to Hwy 2 a couple kilometers south of Kbal Thnal.
